Guest host Traci Thomas (The Stacks podcast) returns for another Viral Article Book Club with “Higher Learning” host, author, and the best former “Bachelorette” lead, Rachel Lindsay. Together, they dig into Carly Lewis’ Cut article “The Grooms Smashing Wedding Cake in Their Brides’ Faces,” which examines the rising trend of aggressive wedding cake smashing, how the tradition has shifted from funny to violent, and why it reflects the larger cultural moment we’re living in. Plus: hot takes on wedding etiquette, dessert, and why this article is Traci’s Roman Empire.
